Hadith 5176
that while they were with the Prophet (ﷺ) at As-Sahba' which was at a distance of one day's journey from
Khaibar the prayer became due, and the Prophet (ﷺ) asked the people for food but there was nothing with
the people except Sawiq. He ate of it and we ate along with him, and then he asked for water and
rinsed his mouth (with it), and then offered the (Maghrib) prayer and we too offered the prayer but the
Prophet did not perform ablution (again after eating the Sawiq.).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 70, Hadith 18

That he went with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to the house of Maimuna, who was his and Ibn `Abbas' aunt. He
found with her a roasted mastigure which her sister Hufaida bint Al-Harith had brought from Najd.
Maimuna presented the mastigure before Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who rarely started eating any (unfamiliar)
food before it was described and named for him. (But that time) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stretched his hand
towards the (meat of the) mastigure whereupon a lady from among those who were present, said,
"You should inform Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) of what you have presented to him. O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! It is the
meat of a mastigure." (On learning that) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) withdrew his hand from the meat of the
mastigure. Khalid bin Al-Walid said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Is this unlawful to eat?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
replied, "No, but it is not found in the land of my people, so I do not like it." Khalid said, "Then I
pulled the mastigure (meat) towards me and ate it while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was looking at me. Sahih al-Bukhari Book 70, Hadith 19
